ABSTRACT
Previously, we have shown that native ambient mass spectrometry imaging allows the spatial mapping of folded proteins and their complexes in thin tissue sections. Subsequent top-down native ambient mass spectrometry of adjacent tissue section enables protein identification. The challenges associated with protein identification by this approach are (i) the low abundance of proteins in tissue and associated long data acquisition timescales and (ii) irregular spatial distributions which hamper targeted sampling of the relevant tissue location. Here, we demonstrate that these challenges may be overcome through integration of laser capture microdissection in the workflow. We show identification of intact protein assemblies in rat liver tissue and apply the approach to identification of proteins in the granular layer of rat cerebellum.
